Virtual Integrative Psychiatry

Choose Different, Choose Clarity

We’re disrupting the mental health industry with a comprehensive approach, addressing nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, and environment to fully optimize your potential.

Only 35% of people ever achieve remission through traditional care.

Why Different?

At Different Mental Health Program, we see mental health issues as holistic and interconnected, not isolated in either therapy or medication management.
We strive to nurture well-being across multiple dimensions, including cognitive wellness, social relationships, stress management, and more.
We offer advanced testing that’s done in the convenience of your own home, including
  • Hormone testing
  • Sleep and stress evaluation
  • Nutrient testing
  • Inflammation testing
  • Psycho-pharmacogenetic testing
Our programs are backed by state-of-the-art, cutting-edge science that are tailored uniquely to you.
We also emphasize lifestyle coaching to help you maximize your results. The best medications in the world won’t help if your sleep, nutrition, or activity habits are harming your mental health.

We offer medication-based treatments that are personalized and aimed at minimizing problem side effects for:

Major Depressive Disorder

Bipolar Disorder

Anxiety

ADHA

Take back control of your mental health

Industry data reveals that 65% of patients with major depressive disorder don’t achieve full remission with medication alone.
From neon leggings to MTV, many ’80s favorites endure, but outdated mental health treatments just don’t. The current system relies heavily on medication and fails to treat the whole individual.
The problem lies in isolating therapy and medications from other essential lifestyle habits, resulting in stagnation and dependency.
Different offers a new approach to mental health care, focusing on holistic treatment that addresses the individual as a whole, including sleep, exercise, and nutrition habits – to help you make lasting improvements for lasting impacts.

Precise Treatment Based on Biology and your Specific Needs

Traditional treatments might work for some, but they don’t work for many.

With depression, addressing the root cause is key – yet finding the right treatment remains a challenge. While medications are beneficial, cultivating new habits rooted in neuroplasticity (and recognizing your own unique biology) is essential.

With this process, Different helps:

Rewire the Neurons in your Brain

Expedite the Healing Process

Raise Remission Rates

Create Lasting New Habits

Testimonials from Real Clients

Traditionally, psychiatry has always been about treating “from the shoulders up.” However, evidence points to the need to consider the whole person and the whole body to achieve optimal outcomes.
Different Mental Health Program rests on a foundation of integrative mental health, and we have the testimonials to prove it. Our clients rave about the results they’ve seen through our tailored treatment plans that target lifestyle changes and holistic wellness.

I was fearful of being judged about my ADHD, Desiree really listened and found a solution for my attention with medication and through our talks, I've learned how to better manage my symptoms and found that my neurodivergent brain gives me a lot of strengths.

Carolyn Whitcomb USA

I tried so many medications with bad side effects, I gave up for awhile trying to get help. Different MHP offered me testing and helped me figure out a plan that worked for my body. I now have a mix of meds, supplements and a new activity plan that actually works for my anxiety.

Carolyn Whitcomb USA

Big thanks to Desiree my provider. I had tried different medications for depression, but could not stick with much because of side effects and never seemed to feel better. I am starting to get my life back now, we found the right medication that worked much faster than the other meds I tried and I am even losing weight. I am happy to say I am now looking for a job again and getting back to my life.

Where is Different MHP available?
Different MHP, PC is available to all residents or individuals that are located in North Carolina. Due to telehealth licensing laws, we are only able to provide care if you are located in North Carolina at the time of visit. We cannot care for you if you have a current address outside of N. Carolina.
Do you take health insurance?

We are currently in network with Aetna and BCBS.

Coming Soon: Medcost, United Health Care and Cigna. At this time, we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid plans. We are unable to provide services for self pay patients covered under state Medicaid or any Medicare plans at this time.

How will I get my prescriptions?

Once you see a provider and if prescription medications are prescribed, they will be sent during or at the end of the visit. They are sent electronically, so there is no need to have a paper prescription. You have the right to choose any pharmacy you wish, including mail order pharmacies like Amazon.

What if I cannot afford my medication?

Medication can be very expensive. Here at Different MHP, our priority is to make treatment accessible including lowest cost. In many cases, your provider will provide you with a co-pay card or suggest a drug discount card. Our staff is also very knowledgeable and will help you apply for support for free medication through patient assistance programs. Don’t be afraid to contact your provider through the patient portal if you are having trouble accessing your medications. We are here to help.

What should I expect out of my first appointment?

You will meet with your board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner for approximately 60 minutes. The initial appointment is to review how you are feeling, how we can help, and review your individual goals and what recovery and wellness mean for you. If you don’t know all the answers, don’t worry! At the end of the appointment you should expect a discussion of diagnosis, treatment plan including medications, therapy, discussion of diet and physical activity levels. Your provider may also order urine, saliva or blood tests to guide diagnosis, treatment and for safety of the treatment plan. You should also expect a follow up appointment to be scheduled in 2-4 weeks depending on the individual.
